Arts Aid, the Manx charity that offers financial assistance to Manx students seeking to further their education and development in the arts, has joined forces with the Sovereign Arts Foundation (SAF).
The partnership will allow the Manx charity to take an even closer look at all aspects of the arts as it continues to support talented locals hoping to pursue a career in their chosen field.
While Arts Aid awards annual scholarships, the SAF holds a student art competition in the island each year with cash prizes for students and worldwide exhibitions which raise thousands of pounds for charities.
Arts Partner
Director at Sovereign Trust Ltd, Anna Lowey, says the alliance is ‘testament’ to its commitment to foster creativity and advance education.
“The collaboration between Sovereign and Arts Aid makes me feel exceptionally proud and fulfilled, knowing we’re contributing to our local community by supporting these students in pursuing their artistic passions.”
Chairman of Arts Aid, Mark Denton, added: “Our first criterion is always exceptional talent.
“After that, it’s about levelling the playing field in terms of opportunity with awards intended to ease the financial burden on young people and, in some cases, make the difference as to whether a student can take up a course or not.
“We look forward to partnering with the Sovereign Trust who match our own ambitions.”
